Need some ideas for good family-friendly TS on the cheaper end

[jayhjay]

We are planning an upcoming trip for a party of 9 including 3 kids. The past few trips have either been for business or the dining plan, so cost wasn't a major factor. But with such a large group, I am trying to find some good ideas for TS restaurants that may be less expensive but still good. So we need to stay away from signatures or places like Le Cellier.

We are specifically interested in resort restaurants or Epcot or MK. Anyone have some great suggestions?

These are the ones on my list that came up cheaper than the others (keep in mind I'm staying at BCV so that's where I was looking for resort meals):

MK:
Tony's lunch
The Plaza

Epcot:
Le Cellier lunch (believe it or not!)

Character Meals:
Donalds Safari Breakfast

Resorts:
Beaches N Cream (BC)
ESPN Club (BW)

Thanks 3Minnies! The plaza is definitely on our list as it is one of my favorites. I think we are staying away from TS lunches even though they are cheaper. With our big group (including a baby) that is just not a good time for family meals (although I may sneak in a lunch at LTT for our foursome).

I'd love to do B&C. We usually go right at opening for lunch. Do they serve dinner? Any idea what the wait is like at that time of day? We can eat pretty early (5, 5:30) but we are party of 9 which is hard to seat.

Garden Grille is a good option, especially with kids. We have eaten there four times and have never been disappointed.
